Description

Find the tree close to the cliff with a key embedded in the trunk near eye level, on the cliffside of the tree. The keyring has broken off of the key (and it is sometimes replaced) so you may need to look hard for it.

The route ascends a dark brown slab starting from the tree. Climb the lower slab to the blocky 4th class ledge, then climb the outside corner hanging overhead. The route touches both faces of the outside corner. A routefinding extravaganza!

Location

Find the tree with the key in it. About 100 yards from Cake Walk, this climb begins before you reach the big elevated dirty ledge where Gaggle of Geese, Old Crow and High Steppin' start.

Protection

Can be done with only bolts. If 5.7 is your limit, bring a couple cams for the slightly runout section midway up the climb (it's not that runout, but some will want an extra piece of pro)

Climbed yesterday, 2nd to last protection bolt is right next to an excellent .3 or .4 BD cam placement. Other than that a well designed route with fun moves. The anchor has been extended with chains so it is visible from the ground (and much better for rapping off).
